Issues Lyrics & Chords By Montrel Darrett

Spoken:
Uh, it's a shame
Right ain't never done nobody wrong, what's up?
Be all right
It's a shame
Who we going to yell at you all, we all have issues
Man is hispanic, red, black, white, Puerto Rican, Jew
And we all know what it feels to be stuck on this issue today
Racism, maybe facing today, come on

Dealing with these issues
Color of my skin
Black or white it don't matter
The Church won't let me in
They say that I'm the wrong skin tone
When it shouldn't matter
And if I was your color
Would you consider me your brotha
Well, I….

Know that it's wrong
And it don't feel right
The blood won't atone
If we don't bring these issues to the Light

Feel like going on
Trials in your life come to make you strong
So hold your head up, stick your chest out
Ain't no doubt about this here, God's goon' bring you out
In the morning He gon' wipe all these tears away
Make it through the night there's a brighter day
Gotta know that you never goon' be left alone
God's gon' deal with these issues if you hold on

Can we talk about it ya'll?
Don't get mad, I know they said a long time ago
You can't miss a friend that you never had
And what we got right here is a matter of the heart
'Cause I'm one shade and you're another
We're two whole worlds apart

Well, I….
Know that it's wrong
And it don't feel right
The blood won't atone
If we don't bring these issues to the Light

Feel like going on
Trials in your life come to make you strong
So hold your head up, stick your chest out
Ain't no doubt about this here, God's gon' bring you out
In the morning He gon' wipe all these tears away
Make it through the night there's a brighter day
Gotta know that you never gon' be left alone
God's gon' deal with these issues if you hold on

Feel like going on
Trials in your life come to make you strong
So hold your head up, stick your chest out
Ain't no doubt about this here, God's goon' bring you out
In the morning He gon' wipe all these tears away
Yes, He is
Make it through the night there's a brighter day
Gotta know that you never goon' be left alone
God's gon' deal with these issues if you hold on

You ain't trying to hear what I'm saying though
Gotta deal with the answer, let the problem go
Never seen a rich man begging for bread
Never seen a proud man with a hung down head
Trying to make you see God done worked it out
All wrapped up in this here thing whatcha talking 'bout?
I said
Right ain't never done nobody wrong
It really don't take much just to get along
Hold on
God's gon' bring you through

Be strong, gotta deal with these issues
Gotta hold on
God's gon' bring you out
Be strong, ain't no doubt
I know what I'm talking 'bout

Be strong, gotta deal with these issues
Gotta hold on
God's gon' bring you out
Be strong, ain't no doubt
I know what I'm talking 'bout

Be strong, gotta deal with these issues
Gotta hold on
See, you can't just give up now
Gotta hold your head up
See, you can't just give up now
God's gon' bring you out
Be strong, ain't no doubt
I know what I'm talking 'bout

Be strong, gotta deal with these issues
Gotta hold on
God's gon' bring you out
Be strong, ain't no doubt
I know what I'm talking 'bout

Be strong, gotta deal with these issues
Gotta hold on
God's gon' bring you out
Be strong, ain't no doubt
I know what I'm talking 'bout

I'll catch you lying
And my babies are dying
What we going to do?
The church won't let me in
Because of the color of my skin
We gotta stop this madness now
Sin has gone too far
We gotta stop it, gotta stop it, gotta stop it

I'll catch you lying
And my babies are dying
What we going to do?
Said it's left up to me and you
We gotta come on
Be strong
